Installation & Usage

1. Core Parser (@edems-dev/md-discord-syntax-core)

import {
  findSpoilerRanges,
  isSubtextLine,
  stripSubtextPrefix,
} from "@edems-dev/md-discord-syntax-core";

const text = "Hello ||secret|| world";
const spoilers = findSpoilerRanges(text);
// [{ from: 6, to: 16, contentFrom: 8, contentTo: 14 }]

2. Next.js + @next/mdx (@edems-dev/remark-discord-syntax)

Install the plugin:

npm install @edems-dev/remark-discord-syntax

Configure next.config.mjs:

import createMDX from "@next/mdx";

const withMDX = createMDX({
  options: {
    remarkPlugins: ["@edems-dev/remark-discord-syntax"],
  },
});

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  pageExtensions: ["js", "jsx", "md", "mdx", "ts", "tsx"],
};

export default withMDX(nextConfig);

MDX syntax example:

This is a ||spoiler|| block.

-# This is subtext
